Oh I think you do. Think of it as a fire that has been left unattended for a while. It looks like it has gone out, but with a little stirring, a little air, some fresh fuel, and some loving attention, it will be burning bright again. It's been allowed to smolder for a while, but with the right circumstances, and a huge helping of patience, it can be even warmer than it was before.
I'm so sorry you're hurting. Relax and know that the hurt will pass.
All my love to you lexus......
